| Notes | This ballad includes its response on the same sheet, entitled "Vertue the Reward of Constancy; Or, Mrs. Mary Foart's Love-Letter and An- / swer to her dear heart John Blay at Leghorn: / Wherein she protests her constancy and happiness in the injoyment of his love; which / she writ to him in Verse, as his was to her: and showing the same to a Friend of / hers for his approbation, he caused both the Letter and the Answer to be publish'd, / to vindicate the Maids honour and constancy, which some sly young-men living / near, had endeavoured to traduce, and by that means to break off the match, which / they had designed otherways." These have been cataloged as a single ballad consisting of one part. |
